JoeRedskin 04-19-2013, 08:53 AM So here's a question:
Teams are not allowed more than 5 prime time games. Say, however, that the Skins/Giants game at the end of the year is like last year's Giants game - win and in, loser go home, last meaningful game of the season as all else is decided - could it be flexed into the prime-time slot?
What if the Dallas/Skins game the prior week had significant play-off implications, could it be flexed? Both?
Just curious if anyone knows the answer. Also, who makes the flex scheduling call?

I believe yes they can be flexed but not 100% sure.
Beemnseven 04-19-2013, 09:37 AM The five prime time slots are a direct gift from RGIII.
The gift that keeps on giving.
How is that a "gift" ?? It's more like a pain in the ass.
F Monday and Sunday night games. I hate them.
JoeRedskin 04-19-2013, 09:47 AM MNF schedule effing sux.
No doubt. I see very few games with an across the board "Man, I gotta see that!" appeal.
Our game against Philly for the RGIII/Chip Kelly factor
Our game against San Fran.
Seattle/St. Louis
Green Bay/Chicago
Atlanta/San Fran.
Several potential stinkers:
Atlanta/Jets - the Jets? Really?
Miami twice - Again, Really?
Oakland/Denver - Matt Flynn's Prime Time Debut, now there's a selling point.

I agree, as they were going through it last night with Mike Tirico, I was just kept thinking ... really? At least I won't be up late every Monday night.

This is interesting. Is the NFL Network game considered prime time? In 2011 The Cowboys had 5 Prime time games (one being a Saturday Night NFL Network Game)... and then were flexed on the last week against the Giants.

Just like the regular schedule the NFL makes the final flex scheduling call, after consulting with the networks
Three teams are allowed up to six primetime games (at least that was the rule when I last scheduled which was a couple of years ago), the rest of the league is allowed five. NBC can only have a team on four times though

New York-major market
Miami-feeling they could be a sleeper team
Oakland-no comment
RedskinRat 04-19-2013, 11:11 AM I'd like to see how teams are looking after Training Camp before saying they'll be a horrible game to watch.
You just never know. Didn't all the experts say the Redskins would be flat because of the Rookie QB and crappy team?
CultBrennan59 04-19-2013, 11:13 AM Well then, we should just cancel the draft, since it has no effect on teams' performances.
If the draft did have an effect on teams' performances, making predictions before the draft would be pure arrogance. But as we know from your post, this is not the case.
my god dan. We can also not predict injuries either. Nor have we seen training camp. We can't see what big moves and trades will occur before the season starts with Revis or Fitzgerald. Nor can we see who everyone is picking as a winner who will end up flopping. So what we should just get rid of predictions as a whole right? No one should predict anything right?
